persistent over hotplugs and power cycles. This way customer can for example activate BT2020 mode in
the TV even though content doesn't sent the correct InfoFrame. The AVI mod is really meant for
advanced users only because incorrect values can blank the screen and since the settings are saved even
power up won't help until reset.
[Send AVI]
: By clicking this option, the AVI InfoFrame that you entered in the
CUSTOM AVI
text field will
be injected LIVE from the Linker unit to the HDMI signal toward output port.
[BT2020 OUT]:
Here you can force BT2020 to be always present at output (Forced ON) or always
removed from output (Forced OFF) or simply to follow input (default). This feature, when forced OFF,
should help to solve issue with device that does not support BT2020 such as some Ambient Light system
or even the Denon 5200 AVR.
[CAPTURED HDR METADATA]:
If the source is sending HDR infoFrame metadata then the information is
captured, extracted and displayed in this text box on GUI.
[CAPTURED AVI METADATA]:
If the source is sending AVI infoFrame metadata then the information is
captured, extracted and displayed in this text box on GUI.
Note
: There are two ways to reset the strings. Either hold the RESET button for +8 seconds on Linker or
go to the GUI "config" page and apply reset. After GUI reset close and reopen GUI. Then the fields are
populated with reset values.
